It goes down in conjunction with the exhibit Charles Addams’ New York at the Museum of the City of New York, 6:30PM.

99 BOTTLES: Zane Lamprey has made a career out of drinking: The host of FLN’s booze-fueled travel guide “Three Sheets” has a spinoff book dropping today – the very same day Greenpoint’s WORD Bookstore turns three years old. Naturally, they’re partying together: Pick up a copy of “Three Sheets: Drinking Made Easy! 6 Continents, 15 Countries, 190 Drinks, and 1 Mean Hangover!” (Villard), then head over to Diamond Bar to toast the man himself – we can think of hardly a better way to usher in the drinkiest day of the year. 6PM.
